When I purchased my birdnest-frag it was a nice, bright pink. The tips were white, but now it is getting much lighter. I feed with photoplankton every other week, and it is sort of middle-top of my tank. I have four 36" 96watt bulbs in my 40 gallon tank. Is it too much light? I thought they...

I have crushed coral in my tank. I mainly get detrius on my LR. I have a goby that sifts through my CC day and night and does pretty well. What are my options for a cleanup crew to eliminate most of the detrius on the rocks? I have little to no algae and just a few astrea snails and two mex...

I'll be surprised if I get a response to this: My Lemonpeel Angel is having Macro-algae withdrawls and he needs something bad! I have called every LFS in AZ and noone has any.. If anyone has any they they need to get rid of, please let me know. Thanks! Paula

Hey, I'm not ashamed to admit, I have no clue what I have for lighting!! Nor do I know the difference between halides, actinic, or pc... Anyhow, here is what I have under my hood on my 40gal: 96 watt 10,000K 02.10 (4 prong, two bulbs) 96 watt 50/50 10,000K actinic - trichromatic daylight...

I am waiting on my second 96 watt 50/50, and currently have a 10,000 96 watt for my 40 gallon tank. I was thinking of getting a couple corals to start next week. My perimeters are fine, with the exception of an 8.0 ph, and I think another 20% water change this weekend should bump it up. I...

I am waiting on a second 96 watt bulb and I was wondering which corals will be okay on my CC? Thanks in advance.. Paula

I have five (5) Mexican Turbo Snails, small to med in size that I will give to anyone that wants them. I have a 40 gallon and these guys are little earth-movers. I live in Chandler, AZ if you don't mind picking them up, that would be easiest. If you are interested, you may email me at...

I didn't realize that I had bought Mexican Turbos instead of regular Turbos until I got home from the LFS and looked in the bag, well, plus their english wasn't too good either, and also realized I had bought five of them for a 40 gallon tank. I know it would be fine if it were regular Turbos...

The picture below is currently what I am using for a filter. I was told it was an early 90's model. What could I use in its place? I am looking for maybe something that is not transparent, and I can use if I decide to get a larger tank. Oh, and also niceand quiet, like my current one is. I...

Any ideas on these? Are they dusters? Thanks in advance!!

I was in my LFS to buy one Emerald Crab ($12 bucks, what a rip off) this aftn and saw a lemonpeel angel. It was priced at 36.00 which I didn't think was too bad. Will the Angel do okay with two perc's and a goby? In addition to the fish I also have inverts: some shrimp and snails and now...

Living here in the Phoenix area, it seems 'bringing it up to temp' doesnt apply too well. I usually get my r/o water in the 5 gallon jugs and leave them to sit in the garage. The temp even now is still over 95 degrees in my garage, as is the water that sits in it. Then I add my salt in the...

I know some of you are rolling your eyes, but what is a frag? Thanks!

I received an invert order on Monday. I was very careful when acclimating: All shrimp are fine, corals doing well, and snails all alive and kicking, but I think my scarlet hermits are dying off. Three of the shells havent moved at all, and there is a carcass laying in the bottom of the tank...

I am receiving my invert order from SWF.com late morning tomorrow (tues). I have one air pump and I am planning on using that with the shrimp, while acclimating them seperately from the others. I will also acclimate my snails and hermits seperately. I have three mushrooms coming in as well as...

Geez, another question... In additon to the inverts I want to order, would I be able to get one Ricordea, Umbrella Mushroom, and a feather duster for my 40 gal? I have 96 watt lighting.... Thanks in advance!

I will be happily saving a bundle by ordering from SWF.com as opposed to any LFS in my area. I have a 40 gallon tank, which is doing fine and I wish to purchase a good cleanup crew. Here is what I am planning on: 5 Scarlet Hermits 1 Sally Lightfoot 2 Cleaner Shrimp 6 peppermint shrimp 10 Zebra...

I just got back from the LFS with 10 lbs of LR. I added them to my tank, but now with all this plant life on my rocks, I am worried this was not a good move. I have attached a pic and you can see the rock I have added. Any input would be helpful, thanks!!

I am about to install my new 96 watt 10,000 K. I currently have a flourescent light which is all I have been using so far. When I do get my new bulb installed, I am just limited to mushrooms, right? Paula

I have a Dragon Goby, he is pretty big, about 3". As soon as my salinity level reaches 1.024-1.025 (it is 1.019 now) I really want a couple fire shrimp a sally lightfoot and about 10 scarlet hermits and 10 Astrea snails. Is this an okay combination with a Dragon Goby?
